6:00 pm

6:01 pm
going on over on i'm abby martin and this is breaking the fat today i want to talk to you about a new stupid government laws that long new jersey that requires pet owners to buckle their animals in the seatbelts while driving do you think government overreach if this ridiculous piece of legislation would become a law you know to stand to gain the most the doggie seat belt industry that too sometimes your dog really is your best friend but not when you're driving around a van and you tell him to stay but all he wants to do is play introducing the clip instead the ultimate solution to keeping doors doggin to see some you can be safe and secure in your dogs really the only thing worse than this is when parents put their children on a leash and the third thing this is just another example of the nanny government overstepping their bounds so first dogs what's next but playing down every loose
6:02 pm
object in our cars i mean don't get me wrong it's important to be a safe driver so this is not about you being a safe driver this is about you getting your highbrows dog to calm down try taking them for a walk or playing fetch of them a little bit more we don't need a new law for this and frankly i'm done with this ridiculousness and that's why i'm breaking the set. to strictly support a specific. a year ago last month thousands of people came together to raise their voices for the ninety nine percent those fallen victim to a system of economic inequality and corporate greed but along with the supporters came the critics who said the movement needed a more focused agenda that it needed a leader until then nothing would change and here to talk about the effort of turning the movement into action i'm joined by giuliani musher reeky occupy wall street activist and now candidate for new york city council district thirty five
6:03 pm
johnny thank you so much for coming on yeah a pleasure as jilani to rekey definitely it's a pleasure to be so you're following the footsteps of george martinez who is the first occupier announce his candidacy for congress in new york i know you guys are part of the same kind of overarching campaign called bum rush the vote tell us a little bit about what that is definitely a vote is about gauging the community is civic engagement so that we can start taking over or what is already ours which is the communities so how did you decide to do this because i think a lot of people in the occupy wall street movement i was i was in oakland at the time and it was kind of the antithesis to the political establishment people were saying you know we don't want to put forward anyone to run how did you decide that this would be the first step. to decision so it's decided it's going to be there first has to go back to who i am and ours raise i was raised in
6:04 pm
the activists family mother father or activists. pro-union workers and so to engage in electoral process. was just simple a step in my evolution as a person. occupy wall street has individuals that time to miss and but the big thing is to be active in the community. and how do you engage the community and how you active in the community well part of that is civic engagement and electorally and that's the best way to make change nonviolently and i agree i think i think grassroots coordinating organizing and really getting in at the very local level which is exactly what you're doing how are people reacting to your position coming from the occupy wall street movement and having the viewpoint that you do how are people reacting the community gauging with you and what you believe well as occupy wall street activists are occupied or hood activists the
6:05 pm
community is loving me as normal because i represent the community i was a member and still am a member of the community was on those corners i know what poverty is like i know unemployment is like i know what i have in a college education and can't find a job is like i know what. you just live in and america's like so the people realize that i do represent them and i'm doing this to activate even more people to engage in the electoral process and civic responsibility process over role in mark community since all politics is local would say. aggressive approach to purging the system locally and i definitely think that everyone should be doing in. part of the movement take responsibility for your local community. you know
6:06 pm
a lot of people well of course you can't really compare the tea party movement to the occupy movement we know that was totally hijacked and pushed into an establishment line but i mean look at how organized they were of course they were backed by the koch brothers and such but i mean the occupy wall street movement there really was no kind of direct line to insert occupy wall street members into the political establishment do you i know that you just said people should do this more i mean is there more organization for people at a local level of community people. level to really uncertain selves so they can start working from the bottom up from the ground up to create this change to get these ideas and philosophies from the occupy wall street and into the political establishment while definitely i mean let's be clear the occupy wall street movement is a continuum of the movements that preceded it so. yes people should get involved and. they should be out there and they should hit the
6:07 pm
streets within the communities what about people other members i mean are they in line with the i know they are saying people should do that but i mean are people organizing to do this all around you know definitely there's this definitely does there was a brother out in philly in march that actually was one of the first occupy wall street candidates who didn't make the ballot also george martinez my partner he did make the ballot and then is others now in arkansas little rock arkansas. washington state there's a sin a physicist a one running for senate out there and then in orange county there's a brother diamond running for position out there so we have a lot of different people in the occupy movement. claiming this space is in the communities and we promote civic engagement down to the so the community board school board police community count council level two the block association
6:08 pm
block association level everything starts local so if we're active there then we can work our way out so the presidency and so really quickly we're almost out of time but i wanted you to just comment on people who say the occupy movement dad i mean is there organization either kind of workshops helping people train and learn how to run for city council how to do this no question it's to do it yourself movement but there is information out there bum rush to vote is one of them the. also of the occupy candidates star or so there is information out there for people to reach out and see what it's about but also just get involved take a political science class such as local community college or look at some political science books so you know what it takes to be involved john i always like to say if you don't like the dialogue out there it's up to you to change it thank you so much for being the change doing coming on and talking about i really appreciate it no question thank you very much ps burka.
6:09 pm
now i want to talk to you about a woman i find truly inspiring and anchor and lacrosse wisconsin named jennifer livingston has been reporting the news for fifteen years but this week she actually became the news because you see jennifer livingston decided to take a stand against an internet role it all started one viewer kenneth cross said this is that i was surprised indeed to witness that your physical condition hasn't improved for many years surely you don't consider yourself a suitable example for this community's young people girls in particular obesity is one of the worst choices a person can make and one of the most dangerous habits to maintain i leave you this note hoping that you'll reconsider your responsibility as a local public personality to present and promote a healthy lifestyle. mr krause do you ever think about the fact that you're picking
6:10 pm
on a woman who has her own public platform where she could overpower and dismantle your hate mail in a matter of minutes not sure if you did take a look at how jennifer responded. says i am overweight but to the person who wrote me that letter do you think i don't know that that your cruel words are pointing out something that i don't see you don't know me you are not a friend of mine you are not a part of my family and you have admitted that you don't watch the show so you know nothing about me but what you see on the outside and i am much more than a number on a scale very powerful and then she left us with these inspiring words. with this. to all of the children out there who feel lost who are struggling with your weight with the color of your skin your sexual preference your disability even the acne on your face listen to me right now do not let your self-worth be defined
6:11 pm
by bullies lauren from my experience that the cruel words of one are nothing compared to the shouts of many so why does this whole matter well this double standard is disgusting you would never see someone lashing out at an older unattractive or over mate male on t.v. but this is what women encounter on a daily basis this has to stop and jennifer livingston remind us of that she stood up for self for the millions of people that are in her shoes old and young but most importantly she stood up to the trolls that they could pass judgment behind their cowardly computer screens in their parents' basements and that is why jennifer livingston is our hero of the day so who is the villain well he's the man who saved a defense contractor foreman the formerly known as blackwater then z. now academy thanks to a brilliant p.r. make over i'm talking about robert tappan the president of the public relations
6:12 pm
firm burson maher stellar he is the one responsible for changing blackwater's name to z. and to the even more ambiguous academy in order to mask the company's sordid past earlier this year blackwater i mean academy admitted to key details surrounding seventeen federal criminal charges including illegal exports of automatic weapons and they agreed to pay a fine of seven point five million dollars on top of another forty two million dollars settlement so basically the says that the slap on the wrist cost of getting out of seventeen federal crimes is that easily fifty million dollars and really what does that even mean to a multi-billion dollar company but wait academy spokes person john procter said this he said the company is fully committed to this agreement and looks forward to successfully fulfill. and its obligations on this legacy matter oh all things proctor thank you for fulfilling all your obligations but you know you didn't fulfill any sort of accountability for the blatant war crimes committed by
6:13 pm
blackwater private mercenaries while they were running around war zones with utter impunity remember those blackwater employees who committed several atrocities in iraq yet were never brought to justice remember those videos released showing their contempt for human life shooting indiscriminately at vehicles and private property as well as ramming cars and even running over civilians while laughing what about when the two board blackwater helicopter pilots started randomly shooting at birds over a residential neighborhood. so you don't do you. know . you know what the spite this lawlessness thanks to robert tappan this company is just going to be fine a little name change here and there in the black water war crimes are under the
6:14 pm
bridge so robert fear selfless effort to rebranded company that is the epitome of zero accountability in this two tiered justice system you are today's villain. now if you like what you see so far go to our youtube channel youtube dot com slash bring us and subscribe check out our facebook page at facebook dot com breaking the set also follow me on twitter and i know it took a break from my preaching for now but stay tuned to hear about the latest between syria and turkey next.
6:15 pm
6:16 pm
mr. ok so tensions are growing along the turkey syria border where turkish civilians were killed and wounded after shelling from syrian territories the turkish prime minister said today that his country is not far from war with syria after the turkish parliament agreed to launch an attack if necessary describing syrian military aggression as a threat to turkey's national security how to take a look at this incident a little closer and what it means for the crises i'm joined by mas political director for the syrian emergency task force thank you so much for coming on our sex drives so you just got back from turkey. where you're meeting with leadership there i mean in light of what just happened do you think that turkey is going to intervene. i think i think for now. this is sort of stage one turkey has done what it thought was necessary for or for what happened you know this time was different
6:17 pm
the assad regime has before struck in turkey but it was syrian refugee camps there actually one point injuring at least if not killing one this time when and killed civilians only took their civilians it was a military. facility and it wasn't the syrians on the other side. to quickly move to ensure the those positions are fired as civilians were fired back at and i think turks are right now would have very tough spot i mean i think they've sacrificed more than anyone to help the syrian people at this point and in the village of seeing the spillover that's coming from the regimes guns what about the fact that turkey is a member of nato is this going to kind of instigate an international response to anything at all well you know community will they invoked article four didn't invoke article five and you are not planning on booking article five of these not for now unless they do that if they do that then the nato will have. can not lie and second this is their sixtieth year as members of the nato alliance turkey is
6:18 pm
the second biggest army in nato other than the united states and so if the invoked article five they will again speculate if they will or not for future incidents but for now. i think this is about it and we see protests going on all over turkey and people don't really want war what options are there left for the syrian people and for syria really i mean the protests. so not really all over talked about certain areas and so if you're looking at how. you're seeing protests there and then we can go into specifics on the stomach but what's going on there is you see it's more of a sectarian protest and more of domestic political opposition as you know the domestic political opponent. who's an i'll be a bit different than the whites of syria but you see. his political domestic opposition if you look at obama and romney you know they're using it you can see each other that's something that's been used specially in the dock but you don't see it all over turkey although you do you do see the turks are sacrificing even
6:19 pm
their domestic politics their own sort of populations is frustration into what's going on in syria because turkey again has been put in a really tough spot compared to other countries because of the border two hundred million dollars and many refuse use way more than the red line that they had said before so turkey itself is suffering by the lack of international action what about the people who i mean you're going to zation advocates intervention in syria obviously the syrian people are suffering it's been an extremely long drawn out conflict it's terrible what about all the people who are saying why are we going to engage in yet another military conflict i mean what do you say to people who are saying why would we do that and get involved in another quagmire as this particular condition that i work with for example advocates on number of things including something that would help alleviate the humanitarian crisis that's going on in syria why would people engage well we can talk about different things that obviously there's no no fly zone coming up any time soon even the army that's
6:20 pm
happening if anything if you read any of the western newspapers one of the. western countries are actually arming you know are intending to arm any time soon. you see trickling in by sort of a drop or it's just a long of a conflict this is not what we want to see fall. quicker or slower you know we'd rather have full quicker so the social fabric of my country doesn't continue to be ripped apart. why should we intervene it depends what you mean by intervention and if you believe that there's a responsibility to protect the doctrine in general for anybody to stop genocide to stop ethnic cleansing to stop anything that's happening anywhere in the world sure i think a lot of people would agree that they don't want to see. genocide in the world but when you pick and choose the countries they are trying to intervene in advance geopolitically about what is going to be the aid what is going to the intervention in the form of a check and how do we who are going to be funny i mean the rebels. how do we know
6:21 pm
who is going to get there. if you can. if you want to go to the least thing that we could do the united states for example is to fund the civilian councils the civilian councils in the liberated areas that are in syria right now so you're not worrying about which armed group are you funding you're not worried about what's going on you're worried about funding people that have been locally elected in civilian democratic local elections sometimes are in cities that have throughout the different ethnic groups and religious groups living normal life they just need money for the money to give the person that's cleaning the streets up his own salary civilian police so you don't have random battalions having extra judicial justice and so on the very least you know you're finding one of the people of syria the people of syria whose it's clear. politics for them it's clear and simple there's a people that have risen up for seven months completely peaceful and then the regime continues to slaughter them they don't think. us a thing against
6:22 pm
a dictator thank you for coming on. do you feel frustrated with mainstream ideologies do you ever complain about establishment bias or do you use social media well if you're an active duty soldier and these absurdly common factors that accompany being a critical thinking human being now coined you as a potential terrorist or a radical extremist who could soon kill your coworkers wired magazine just obtained a leaked document from within the u.s. army's terrorism advisory organization called a tactical reference guide for radicalization into violent extremism the documents intended to recognize internal threats within the army ranks and within it is a very comprehensive flow chart of certain risk factors the first call of the chart
6:23 pm
called observed personal issues list indicators of predisposition to radicalization including complaining about bias needing an empowerment being socially withdrawn believing in government conspiracies lacking positive identity with count country unit family and friends exhibiting recklessness if one exhibits any of these common qualities of being a living breathing human being leadership must notify the chain of command in order to maintain unit cohesion and morale. so basically if a soldier projects some sort of individual thought and they are officially deemed a hazard on another section of the chart there are more serious flags for radicalization that call for the immediate investigation including being sympathetic to radical groups visiting extremist websites attending extremist rallies isolating oneself attempting to recruit others to extremists causes knows
6:24 pm
that it doesn't even say terrorist but says an even more vague characterization of extremist and radical so what is considered extremist and what is considered to be radical because that entails realizing that you don't want to sacrifice your life for unjust wars and could recruitment of others to extremist causes i mean simply talking to others in your unit about concerns with the us foreign policy but perhaps the most bizarre thing of all is another section of the chart that lists more risk factors for radicalization one of which says social networks yup so basically they're taking one of the only links to human interaction that soldiers may have and labeling as a warning sign of terrorism now if you think this is all meaningless drivel think again you know i was under the impression that something needed to constitute an actual threat before the government tried to make a pre-crime arrest against you apparently not one only has to look at what happened to brandon rob twenty six year old decorated marine veteran of both iraq and
6:25 pm
afghanistan when he started spouting off anti government opinions on his facebook page check out some of these posts he says friends deserve to know the truth there but an overwhelming amount of evil and acted and planned against to your children your countrymen and great scope your government is evil as simple as that the calvary is coming here's another one dear friends in the military the time for choosing has come but you continue to ignore the obvious lie of nine eleven or will you stand and fight for your people and yet another i'm starting the revolution i'm done waiting. well soon after reading these posts the f.b.i. accompanied by secret service agents went to brennan's house detain and committed him to a psychiatric ward for psychological evaluation for about a week he was finally released after a judge ruled his ataman unlawful brandon rob's case should be a wake up call are people going to be nabbed up simply for vocalizing their opposition to the government no you keep this in mind brandon is not actively
6:26 pm
enlisted in the military and he owns no firearms however he is haste pissed because he found out the words he fought for were based on lies and you know what i would be too if i spent the last six years of my life fighting two wars founded entirely on false hoods the government claim that he was taken to be evaluated because they were worried that he might hurt himself or others based on what he had written but nothing that he wrote could really be construed as a threat against himself or anyone else let's break this down do you want the government gives a crap about veterans mental health if they did it it would make it easier to treat p.t.s.d. or actually provide veterans with the benefits they deserve like helping to prevent the eighteen veterans suicides that happen every single day but no seems like they
6:27 pm
only take notice of someone speaking out about the lies that underwrite the establishment justification for war. this is the message it's become an occupational hazard in the military to be a human being if you don't obey and conform to whatever orders your chain of command is given you and your risk plain and simple. maybe it would be better for the military if they just got rid of soldiers altogether and replaced them with robots. apparently it's perfectly acceptable to give your life to fight in the government's wars but don't you dare question its motives and don't you dare express yourself look the most powerful weapon that you can hold is the truth and the truth is exactly what scares the establishment the most.
